Yet another follow-up of issue #82.

Since there is no rake mechanism to declare constants, ruby constants are often uses to describe things like a build path or defaults. Because those are not declarative, "rakelib/*.rake" file inclusion order then rapidly start to matter when you start to have cross-dependencies.

I propose to introduce a "var" task that defines the value of it's name after the declaration phase.
